X11 Wont Start Without A Monitor Attached
Jun 27, 2009
I've got a small box running as a fileserver with CentOS 5. Sometimes life is a little easier using a GUI for jobs rather than SSH.
As this is not accessible externally, I've got it to autologin to a non-privilaged user, and as part of that logon a VNC session is opened using the inbuilt remote desktop tool.
This was working perfectly, until I realised if I cold boot the server without a monitor attached, X11 wont start at all unless I attach a monitor to it.
I know I can start a VNC session from using vncserver, but this way allows me to logon to the server as if I was sat infront of it, rather than running an extra session.
Presumabley I can add something into /etc/X11/xorg.conf so X11 will start without a monitor hooked up?

to ramp up and for a number of reasons we like the look of dedicated servers attached to SAN...
We have an IO intensive application which process data matches data and usses mssql2005 also. We are an ISV selling a complex SAAS ( software as a service) based "mission critical" application.
I am not technical and like to get external independent opinions when we plan any potentially serious changes.
Does anyone has such an experience of running a complex software application using dedicated/SAN...I hear that SQL does not run well on the SAN? Does the SQL need to sit on the dedicated server ideally? What are the main issues and challenges to this type of set up, as I see many clear benefits to ease of backing up and scaling up quickly.

I am working on a mission critical project and wanted to get your feedback on the following two choices. Reliability, Up-time, Support are key items. If money can pay for a better nights sleep then its well worth it IMHO. Well here are the specs from Rackspace and Mediatemple attached below. Looking to deploy this project asap. Any help always appreciated..

Can you guys recommend a server by looking at the graphs below?
Connections „ CPU Usage „ Load Average
Memory Utilization „ Swap Memory „ Traffic
I'm trying to identify the right hardware for the job without going overkill with the specs, as the budget is limited.

if you use a site monitoring service (or two) do you need to setup monitors for each website/domain on your VPS or can you just monitor the primary services on the VPS?
Pluses/Minuses for either way?

I have a windows vps and I want to monitor my bandwidth. How can I do this? I tried using a program called DU Meter but it's counting bandwidth on all users on that node and not mine =[

I want to monitor my application to make sure it is 24x7 uptime, if there is anything interrupt, I will be notified by email/SMS right away. There are several web monitoring service, but they all monitor ports, not application. I have bad experience, like, althoguh the web server is alive, but the application is already dead.
So, I want to monitor application instead of monitor a port. Anybody knows where I may find this kind of service?

I want to be able to monitor (with statistic) and cap traffic on 3+ servers.
how is this done best?
I was thinking of somekind of switch or server set inbetween the servers and the internet monitoring and keeping data on the traffic use etc.
but what do you do?
and how to make such a monitor redundant so if it fails the network is not cut off from the world?

Don't know if this is the right place to ask for this but here goes.
I have a 20U rack space and i use 4U of this space (1U + 2U servers and a 1U switch).
There is a 20Mbit internet connection on a 100Mbit network.
But here comes my problem, some friends have there servers in my rack space to, There is 12 servers that are my friends and i want to know how much traffic they use.
I want to know how many GB traffic they use to i can charge them (they don't pay right now).
2 of my friends servers must max take 50gb traffic!
Is there a switch that can do theys two things?
Show traffic and limit traffic?

I just setup my own LAMP server.
It is only used for my own domains so I want to be able to watch all mail that gets sent from my server, via php or otherwise.
Basically I just want to be able to personally monitor what mail is getting sent from my server so that I can watch for possible spammer activity.
I am using postfix and webmin.. I have sendmail installed to, but I don't think it is getting used..
I guess theres got to be a log somwhere... but I am not sure where it is?
I have postfix set to CC me of all mail that gets sent but, it doesnt seem to work all the time.. just for certain things..

We have a few customers who have multiple C classes with us and we are wondering how most of you monitor for blacklisting.
We currently randomly pick a few IPS and check them once a month but this is not very thorough. We were wondering if there is a program out there that can check say a /20 automatically once a month or atleast something we can initiate an automated check once a month with?

I am wondering what services it is best to monitor with Nagios which I've installed on my Centos 5.3 VPS. I wish to monitor and understand all essential services of the VPS itself at this stage but, generally, to make the best possible use of Nagios as an analytical tool as well as basic monitoring notifications, etc.
I already have a rough idea based on the main services being run. But I imagine there may be more to this than meets the eye, in particular, in view of any potential performance cost, etc.
I am especially keen to obtain as detailed a picture as possible concerning performance related criteria with a mind to indicating possible improvements that could be made.

Just built my homemade server rack and I have 6 newly acquired 'used servers' and an old and very heavy monitor with keyboard.
How can I best hook up the monitor/keyboard to multiple servers and just switch them? Is there such a thing a 'switch' for peripherals?
I would need plenty of connection cables not doubt.

We have a website that uses php include. It is specified in .htaccess to parse all html file to parse for php so php include can be executed.
We don't know the exact cause but our Addhandler line in .htaccess gets keep commented by someone or something and include file (footer) does not show up from time to time. I was told cpanel update inserts the comment but I am not sure.
My question is:
1. How can I prevent this from happening?
2. If it gets modified, how can I get notification?

Considering a web site could be completely useless without its web forms working as expected, and the uptime reports do not verify them at all, I would like to know if you people, consider it important.

we've got our new machine up and running smoothly. It's a core2duo running CentOS with Plesk 8.3. We have 2 drives in a RAID 1 configuration for reliability sake, and I'm looking for something to help me monitor the status of the disks in the array. Since RAID is pretty useless unless you know if one of the disks has died.
Is there some open source utility that will monitor this and email me if something is wrong? Perhaps something with a nice web interface?
Even better... is there some addon to plesk that will help with this?

Since upgrading to Apache 2 I am no longer able to tell which domains are the busiest using CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage. Now Apache processes are all lumped together and individual domains only show cron, mail and FTP usage. I opened a ticket with cPanel and they know of the problem but there is still no solution. Is there another way I can tell which of my sites is using the most resources until this bug is fixed?

Is there any way I can monitor the activity on my shared host?
I'd like to know at what times resources are being used by other sites on the server so I can plan accordingly. Also, is there a way to test the capabilities of my server without bringing it down? I'm developing an image gallery and I'd like to know how many users can upload images at the same time etc. before it slows to a crawl.
